Here's Just How Many People are Boycotting Kimmel Over Melania Comments

A petition calling for a boycott of ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has surpassed 150,000 signatures after he dedicated a segment of his show to mocking First Lady Melania Trump’s Slovenian accent.

Kimmel drew criticism after mocking Mrs. Trump’s accent, showing video of her reading a book to children last week at the White House Easter Egg Hunt.

“On Monday night, left-wing host Jimmy Kimmel showed his true bigotry by mocking the way our First Lady was reading a children’s book during the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House,” the petition reads.

The organizers say they will send the petition to “the front door of Disney/ABC Studios” in order to “send a message that these attacks on our First Lady will NOT be tolerated.”
